00:00Your father and brothers are gone, yet here you stand.
00:03The winds of winter are almost here.
00:05Seriously, guys, ignore the actual weather.
00:07The highly anticipated Game of Thrones Season 7 will premiere on HBO July 16th.
00:12Now more than ever, especially since the series has gone fully beyond the published events of George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire novels,
00:20fans have been ramping up the theories for what will come next.
00:23The Hollow Reporter's Josh Wigler has stepped up with a few predictions for the heroic StarClan in Season 7.
00:29Heads up, or they could be chopped off, because we've got spoilers ahead for Game of Thrones up through Season 6,
00:35and specifically for the Starks and the King of the North, Jon Snow.
00:39You know, the one who died.
00:40But it's okay, he comes back to life.
00:42You guys knew that already.
00:43Anyway, here are a few Stark surprises that Wigler says would genuinely blow our minds in Season 7,
00:50with some likelier than others.
00:52First up, Wigler wonders if there's any chance the surviving Stark siblings don't get back together in Season 7.
00:58But he says that would be a genuinely stunning development, given all of the pieces on the board.
01:03Jon and Sansa are already back in each other's lives.
01:06Bran is currently heading toward the Wall, and trailers for Season 7 suggest he's going to make it through to Winterfell.
01:12Arya Stark was last seen butchering Freys at the Twins,
01:15and you'd think word of Jon's victory against House Bolton will reach her before long.
01:20But, as every GOT fan knows, bad things happen to the Starks all the time.
01:24Like, all the time.
01:26That's right, I'm still not over Ned.
01:28You know what, I miss you, Rob, and I miss you, Rickon,
01:30and damn it, I wish Ramsay missed you.
01:33That one was painful.
01:35All right, bad things happen to the Starks.
01:37We've gotten through it before.
01:39We can deal again.
01:40Maybe.
01:41But if a full-scale Stark reunion is taken off the table after being so blatantly teased,
01:45that would be what Wiggler calls a sucker punch for the ages.
01:49Oh!
01:50Sophie Turner is already preparing for a villainous transformation for her next X-Men performance as Jean Grey.
01:57So Wiggler asks,
01:58Is she eyeing a similar about-face on Game of Thrones as Sansa?
02:02A few clues that could point to Sansa turning full villain.
02:06When Jon was anointed the new king in the North,
02:08Sansa and Littlefinger exchanged a tense stare.
02:12And for seasons now, Pita Baelish has been grooming Sansa as his ride-or-die on his chaotic climb toward power.
02:19So where do her loyalties and ambitions truly lie?
02:22Wiggler writes,
02:23It's difficult to imagine Sansa turning against her own family.
02:26Littlefinger's persuasive suggestions be damned difficult, but not impossible.
02:31Season 6 featured one of the show's biggest twists yet,
02:34when it was revealed that Bran has the ability to not just visit the past, but interact with it as well.
02:40Who still cringes when they hear somebody ask to hold the door?
02:42I get the shivers every time I'm in an elevator.
02:45I miss you, Hodor.
02:46Hodor!
02:48Anyway, one of the popular theories is that Bran will somehow transfer his consciousness thousands of years ago
02:53to the earliest days of Westeros and become the legendary Bran the Builder,
02:57the mythical hero who built the wall.
02:59As Wiggler puts it,
03:00Talk about a dream come true for a boy who used to love nothing more than the climb.
03:05There's another possible use of Bran's powers on the table,
03:08the fulfillment of the Three-Eyed Raven's promise that while Bran will never walk again,
03:12he will one day fly.
03:14We know Bran can warg into animals as well as people,
03:18and if the new trailer is any indication,
03:19we know he will warg into a flock of ravens this season,
03:22so how about a dragon?
03:24Daenerys and her fire-breathing children are on their way to Westeros this year,
03:28so maybe a Bran warg to dragon could be in the cards this season.
03:32I mean, come on, the Three-Eyed Raven said so,
03:34and I really want to see this happen so I can call him Bran the Builder, Breather of Fire,
03:37coolest Stark man ever.
03:39All right, that's just a few of the predictions for the Stark family for Season 7.
03:43Head to THR.com for more, including Jon Snow possibly dying again,
03:48but coming back to life with less pieces of his soul,
03:50Beric Dondarrion style,
03:52the prospect of Lady Stoneheart,
03:54which Wiggler says is never going to happen,
03:56and more.
